# Core A: Administrative Core

> **NIH NIH P01** · OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $10,051

## Abstract

The overall goal of the Administrative Core (AC) is to provide a structure to facilitate effective interactions toward
accomplishment of the aims of this Program Project. To accomplish this goal, the AC will be structured into a
Steering Committee and a Project Management Team. These groups will work together to accomplish the
following specific aims: 1) Provide research direction by setting the research agenda focused on addressing
cervical cancer disparities in Appalachia and promoting transdisciplinary research; 2) Ensure operational
efficiency for all components of the Program by providing centralized grant administration, information
dissemination, budget data processing, and seamless exchange of information and services; and 3) Promote
integration of the Projects and Cores (Survey and Data Collection, Intervention and Consortium, and
Biostatistics and Evaluation) to promote interaction among the four Universities, the investigators, the
Appalachian communities, the participating community clinics/health systems; and relevant external entities. The
proposed AC builds upon the successful experience of the structure of the Appalachian Community Cancer
Network (P30 CA016058), in which the Multiple Principal Investigators (MPIs) worked together for over 10 years.
The proposed structure will be led by a Headquarters unit located at The Ohio State University and be directed
by MPIs, Drs. Paskett, Anderson, Dignan and Kennedy. The members of this team are well acquainted and
have a track record of conducting research projects together, as well as each has substantial experience with
conducting community based research in Appalachia. We have designed an organizational and administrative
structure that defines and preserves clear responsibilities and facilitates interactive dependence among projects
and cores. The MPIs will be responsible for day-to-day oversight of the important milestones, and integration
among all Program components. The AC will also oversee the operation of the Steering Committee, an External
Scientific Advisory Committee, comprised of four scientists from outside institutions, and will also work with the
Intervention and Consortium Core to facilitate input from and meetings with members of the Community Advisory
Board and the Clinical Partners, assuring Community-Based Participatory Research in all the aspects of the
Program, and be responsible for regular meetings of the Data and Safety Monitoring Board, in conjunction with
the Biostatistics and Evaluation Core. The Program also has two consultants – Drs. Mack Ruffin and Jaimie
Ostroff – to advise on clinical issues and Implementation Science, respectively. Lastly, the AC will ensure that
all components of the Program work seamlessly together to accomplish the Overall and specific project goals of
the Program Project and that the two conceptual models which underlie the research – the Multi-Level Model for
Addressing Health Disparities (for intervention and assessment) and the ...
